With just over 100 days until we meet Baby Leask, Josh and I have started the preparations. First up...the name. When we first found out we were pregnant we quickly had a top boy name in mind. When we found out Baby Leask was a girl, we realized naming her wasn't going to be quite so easy. Right now we have a list of about 20 contenders and are working to narrow it down (and adding more names in the process!). Our goal is to narrow it down to 2-3 names and then decide on the winner when we finally get to meet her. We did decide that we are going to keep our final name choices a secret, so it will be a surprise for everyone in February!
We are also working to finalize our plans for the nursery and begin decorating. We have decided on a soft "ice blue" palette with a theme of arctic animals. So far we have ordered the crib (actually Josh's parents provided us with the crib:) and the rug. We decided on a colorful crib since we aren't doing any painting. We have A LOT of work to do, including figuring out what to do with the current guest bed in that room (anyone need a mattress?). We will update with pictures when the nursery is finished but until then check out the preview below. Also below is a picture from today with the current bump progress. I don't really believe that baby is the size of a cantaloupe, but that is what my photo app says!

P.S. Yes, that is a Star Wars poster. It fits with the arctic theme!
Both pictures are beautiful! February is going to be great!
